HYANNIS-A program from Eversource that pays customers to use less electricity during periods of high demand has received praise from the Association of Energy Services Professionals.
The award for Outstanding Achievement in Residential Program Design and Implementation was given to the utility company recently, in recognition of the ConnectedSolutions program.
Devices such as wireless thermostats and electric vehicle chargers are registered with the program as a way to reduce usage when electricity’s costs and emissions of greenhouse gases are at their peaks in the New England region.
